Experience Details
Asakusa is one of the most visited tourist hotspots in Tokyo, where tradition and modernity meet in a melting pot of Japanese culture and local food, including desserts! In contrast to the bustling Nakamise Dori Shopping Street which offers street food and souvenirs galore, the majestic Sensoji Temple is one of the other main attractions in the traditional Asakusa district. Take advantage of the delicious vegan sweets on offer in Asakusa and enjoy Japanese wagashi desserts on a Sweet Vegan Asakusa Dessert Tour.
This Sweet Vegan Asakusa Dessert Tour will introduce you to vegan Japanese sweets in one of Tokyo’s most traditional settings. Wagashi are typically made from plant-based ingredients like azuki (red bean paste) or rice flour, using minimal ingredients with subtle flavors and textures. Wagashi often reflect the seasons in Japan too, featuring sweets like sakura mochi in spring or sweet potato desserts in the fall. During this Sweet Vegan Asakusa Dessert Tour, you’ll taste 4 delicious sweets while learning about Japanese sweets and vegan desserts that are available in Tokyo. The desserts are ever-changing, depending on the season.
This Vegan Asakusa Dessert Tour will firstly take you to enjoy the first sweet, enjoying the atmosphere of the Asakusa neighborhood, visiting Sensoji Temple along the way to the next stop.
